After a while, it becomes too time consuming to layer 5 things, make sure everything matches, put on all your chains and rings etc. etc. It is so much easier to have a series of garments in which everything goes with everything.
To me, there perfect complement to Harnden is maybe a slice of Difara's. Simple yet complex with a focus on the basic components.dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

That all makes sense, and I'm sympathetic to it, but I would hesitate to call it post-fashion, as if to indicate that it is somehow outside the market or capitalist forces of which fashion is an exemplar. It's really the ability of the same industry to create/capture and more importantly capitalize on a new desire. It might be more accurate to call it hyper-fashion; the exorbitant prices alone reinforce that reading.

while it's certain to get one nods of approval from the paris illuminati ph seems to hold a similar sway over the "uninitiated". i get compliments on ph from the least likely people all who seem to "get it".
the jackets are flattering if you wear the correct size, and not nearly as "great depression" or "hobo" as the jokes suggest.
the silhouette whether shrunken in the jackets or exaggerated in the outerwear/trousers reads as very deliberate and elegant.
i chalk up the phenomenon to the designer's many years honing his craft combined with the slimmer proportions he introduced several years back.LOVE THE SHIRST... HOW much?

can we call paul harnden, or the paul harnden aesthetic/ethos, post-fashion? is that why so many stylish people that are "inside" the fashion industry are so drawn to it?
this came up in a discussion elsewhere more than once, about the difference between who gets play on streetstyle blogs and in waywts, and who is actually buying all these clothes and thus whose tastes are actually being represented by the marketplace.
